Great choices!

Run on the Temple Mountain (dirt) Road near Goblin Valley if you have time. One of our favorite places.

Great Western Trail out of Torrey (north of town) is also good running (at least for a couple miles out, I've never gone too far on it)

Thanks Jake. Seriously.

If you want more specifics let me know. I've done some fantastic runs down that way the past couple years in the fall.
